This was the last step in our EP progression.
Pactum is now Time flagged.
If you've ever played EQ, you know how momentous this can be. When a guild breaks into Time, they have achieved what 95% of people who play EQ and raid dream about. Time has an almost mythical quality to it in Everquest, and some of the most interesting weapons and armor in the entire game drop there.
The shaman in my guild (I play a shaman) are already fighting over who gets to loot the first Time's Antithesis, THE BEST SHAMAN ITEM IN EVERQUEST.
It's especially sweet for us because Pactum is a small guild. We rarely field more than 30 for a raid. That this very small guild managed to defeat monsters designed to be killed by a raid of 72 says a great deal about them, even with the mudflation rampant in Everquest right now. Some encounters, like Coirnav, were extremely difficult for us because of our small numbers, yet we persevered.
I always feel honored and very humbled that I'm a part of such a special, almost magical group of people. Pactum has some of the best players in Everquest among its ranks, and I walk humbly among EQ gods. I DREAM of someday being as good as them.
Wednesday, we had our first Time raid, and we did amazingly well. We decided to call it a night halfway through, but since Time is "instanced" (meaning that only our guild can zone into our particular "instance"), the rest of the gods of Norrath will be there waiting for us to kill them.
Friday, we will complete Time. Once we kill the last monster in Time, Quarm, we will be an OFFICIAL Time guild. It ain't "official" til you complete the raid.
So, those of you who play EQ, take a minute to grats Pactum. It's been a long road, and finally, we have reached Candyland.
